Son forced to negotiate for 45 minutes while his sick father sat in vehicle

Hong Kong Resort, owner and manager of the Discovery Bay development, has been branded heartless after an elderly hospital patient was told he could not return home through the Discovery Bay tunnel because he was travelling in a private car.

I am most perplexed to learn that in order to gain access to provide essential services to the residents of Discovery Bay, the Hong Kong Government has to pay the Discovery Bay Tunnel Company $50 one-way.

If this is happening, can a good reason be provided from the parties involved to justify this unjustifiable use of public money?
